I found the link to this blog as I have been doing my work on what exactly it is I want to do in the Army. I have always wanted to be a Ranger and after reading this I hope I can push through as he did for so long. Once I started reading it was hard to stop. Its good to know that there are good people out there in the world like him. I hope many more read what he has wrote because so many can learn from him. Thank you Tom and my god be with your family.
